One of the most valuable pieces of equipment on any boat is an electric trolling motor. Although they can be used to troll with, their main purpose is for boat positioning, or for working structure.

Size

When looking to buy an electric trolling motor, there are a few things to consider. The first of which is size/power. You will want to ensure that your electric trolling motor is not undersized… oversized in this case would be better.

Keep in mind that fibreglass boats are heavier than aluminum. Thus on a typical 17′ ½ foot fibreglass boat, an electric motor with 60 lbs of thrust (or more) would be ideal – but for a 17′ ½ foot aluminum boat, 50 lbs of thrust (or more) would do.

Some other factors to consider when deciding on which size electric motor would be best, would be to consider the type of fishing you will be doing. If you are using your electric motor in river conditions with heavy current – or in tidal conditions or heavy wind conditions, you will want a strong electric motor in order to fight the current.

Shaft Length

Another very important feature to consider is the length of your shaft on your electric trolling motor. If your shaft length is to short, as soon as you encounter some wind and wavy conditions, your prop will be constantly bouncing in and out of the water, with each wave. (assuming your electric motor is a bow mount)

Not only is this bad for your electric motor (i.e. it is not recommended that your electric motor be operated out of eater) but you will also be loosing boat control. An electric motor with a longer shaft may be more cumbersome to lift & retrieve, but it sure does have many advantages.

How high the bow of your boat will be above water, must also be taken into account. The bow of a bass boat will sit very close to the water, so a shorter shaft size on your electric motor may be o.k. Where as a “deep V” boat, like a walleye boat, will sit higher on the water and a long shafted electric trolling motor is almost essential.

Power

If you have a choice between a 24 volt and 12 volt electric trolling motor, the edge should always go to the 24 volt model. The difference between the 2 models is that the 12 volt model will use 1 deep cycle battery, whereas the 24 volt model will use 2 deep cycle batteries.

The biggest advantage of a 24 volt electric trolling motor besides offering more power, is the simple fact that it will last at least twice as long. There’s nothing more frustrating than running out of electric power half way through your day of fishing… especially if you are fishing a tournament!

Until next time, good luck and good fishing!

One of the most lucrative business ventures to go into is direct selling. The reason for this is because most people continue to be driven by word of mouth marketing – they buy only from people and companies they trust. And that is how direct selling typically works – representatives choose a product that they would like to represent, then they effectively sell them to their friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and acquaintances.

Of course, people in the direct selling business have a lot of challenges. For the ones behind the company, you really need to offer your representatives the tools and tips that they can utilize to effectively sell the products. You have to give them training, so that they know how to address any concerns and problems that arise.

And most importantly, the products should work since this is what drives repeat sales. No one would continue using a product or service that doesn’t really give what it promises.

Online challenges

There are other challenges that plague direct selling businesses, and two of the things that you need to be

aware of is trolling and soliciting. These two can really have a negative impact on your brand if they are not stopped.

Social media nowadays has made it easy for people to interact with each other in real time online, but it has

also resulted in people using these sites in an inappropriate manner. Instead of going through proper channels to get their problems or concerns addressed, they simply post on the company’s page on Facebook, for example, not thinking of the possible consequences of their actions.

Trolling is basically done by people who want to get attention or elicit a response, typically in a very negative manner. They enjoy attacking a particular brand in order for them to be noticed. And the worst part is they do these in social networking sites, which can really have an impact in your business.

Now, you can basically ignore these trolls, especially if it’s obvious that they’re just doing it to get attention. But you can also counter them by putting up positive posts and updates.

Soliciting via social media is another thing that can leave a negative impact on your brand. Both your employees and representatives should remember that your social media pages are not the places where they should be soliciting customers or posting advertisements and “salesy” messages. Customers who see these messages can become turned off, and may even be scared away.

Sometimes, your direct sellers or the representatives of your brand may inadvertently do these things because of ignorance. So it’s important that you really teach them the correct ways of doing things and that you give them the proper channels for their concerns to be addressed.

Don’t let them air out their complaints on your social media sites since it can impact your brand in a negative way. Or if they do so, you should reach out to them immediately so that they know that what they’re doing is wrong.

You have to remind them that your social networking pages are not the place for them to complain and solicit customers – there are proper channels for these things. If they continue doing so, they are not only placing the brand in a negative light but they are also making their own business suffer.

I’ve been around the fishing world for a while… over 20 years, to be more specific.

During that time I have learned a thing or two about fishing and boating equipment. I have also developed some preferences and opinions about that equipment. Some stuff is good and well worth the money spent, and some is just plain crap and not worth the money spent to package it.

This holds true when it comes to electric trolling motors. There are good quality models and there are bad models. There are also big differences between the popular brands of trolling motors. Let me explain.

There are really only a few trolling motor manufacturers in the entire industry. Regardless of what label you see on a trolling motor, it’s made by one of those few manufacturers.

If you have looked for some information, you’ll see that Motorguide Trolling Motors and Minn Kota Trolling Motors are the leaders in the industry when it comes too brand recognition and popularity.

Durability – This is one of my favorite parts of the new Minn Kota motors. These motors last, and for a very long time. Under normal conditions, you can use these motors far longer than expected. Even under extreme conditions, they last longer than other motors I’ve used!

Design – Minn Kota has spent a lot of money over the past decade, improving their design, making it more functional and easier to use. The foot pedal is not anymore clunky and uncomfortable to use. Everything about the design of these motors makes more easy to use.

Reliability – I never worry about my trolling motor not working. When I need it, it works. Plain and simple. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Functionality – The newest Minn Kota models are extremely functional. The features built in to the newest motors are purely functional. There is no fluff.

Let me talk a little more about the durability factor, because this is what makes these motors so incredibly awesome.

Have you ever hit a stump or rock with your trolling motor? If so, you know that this can absolutely ruin a fishing trip… unless you’re running a Minn Kota.

Over a decade ago Minn Kota stopped making their trolling motor shafts from steel and started making them from a composite material that gives them a new element of “unbreakableness”, if you will.

You no longer need to worry about hitting an underwater obstruction making the shaft bent in a weird angle, rendering it useless.

With the composite shaft, hitting a stump or rock simply causes the shaft to flex under pressure and then go right back to its original condition, plain and simple.

This is a no-nonsense engineering feat on the part of the Minn Kota R&D team. Not having to worry about bending the motor’s shaft means being able to concentrate on fishing, not on where the stumps are.

This one feature alone should be enough to sway anyone who’s on the fence about which brand to buy. Seriously. What would you rather have… a bent shaft or one that you never have to worry about? Enough said!

The next best thing with the Minn Kota motors is the Weedless Wedge prop. It is virtually impossible to clog this prop with weeds. I know this for a fact because I have intentionally tried to do it.

When I bought a Minn Kota with the very first Weedless Wedge prop many years ago, Roland Martin had been promoting it on TV and in magazines, saying that he would eat the weed that can wrap this prop.

After installing my new motor, I headed to a local lake that gets matted with weeds in the summer, with the sole purpose of wrapping weeds on this prop so I could send them to Roland to eat!

I was a bit disappointed that Roland was saved from eating my special weed salad. The motor was able to cut through the weeds, without wrapping a single one on the prop!

Listen. I could go on for way too long about why Minn Kota trolling motors are my best motors, but I think my point has been made by now.

There’s no more time to waste. Get your Minn Kota motor now and get it on your boat. You’ll see how right I am.
